Areas of Expertise
Jungian based therapy.
Jungian work is a facilitated encounter with the Unconscious. My approach engages dream, creativity, story and myth as well as lived experience to find meaning and bring you closer to a sense of purpose and wellbeing.
Creativity
I believe creativity is a potent source of generativity and discovery. Using many processes including Soulmap Journaling which I developed, we will engage with the creative act as a way-finding and strengthening force.
Somatic Experiencing
Somatic Experiencing is a modality that engages the body and psyche to tend to experiences including trauma, that are holding us in place. I am currently working towards my Practitioner's qualifications and have completed my training.
Facing The Minotaur
Facing The Minotaur is an online workshop for people who want to gather with other brave humans to explore the challenges and gifts of the shadow self.
A 20 week exploration of this part of the psyche using circle work, myth, metaphor, visual images, creativity and journaling this workshop is designed to bring us to a new understanding, create a practise and build relationship with the unconscious and with shadow.
The course will be weekly; (NZ TIME) 9:30 am Monday 10 June - 4 November . Please go here for time conversion
Facing the Minotaur is not a quick fix. It's not a ride on a unicorn through a field of daisies.
It's a deep dive into the realms that our culture tells us to avoid - the parts of our lives that are not perfect or shiny or easy to admit to. The shadow holds our unwanted parts - our failings and our shames as well as our magnificence.
This work is not a space for pushing through or toughing it out - it is a space for gentle tending, self compassion and commitment.
When you do this work you will feel a fundamental change in how your understand yourself and others.
The process has revealed a way for me to have compassion for my woundedness and mostly (I am human and fallible) to act from my own values and not from my injury. I have more compassion with people around me and less willingness to put myself in harms way.
If you are interested in developing a life-long practice that is generous and gentle, that will lead you into and out of shadow with kindness and compassion then this work is for you.
